Who invented volleyball?
William G. Morgan (1870-1942) born in State of New York, USA. He was a director of physical education at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA).

Through experiments based on Mr Morgan's own experience and training methods. The idea of the net was borrowed from the game of tennis. The net was raised to just above the height of an average man (6 feet 6 inches or 1.98m). The company, A.G. Spaldings and Bros. was commissioned to make a ball with a rubber inner tube and leather cover, circumference of 25 to 27 inches (63.5 to 68.6 cm and weight of 9 to 12 ounces (252 to 336 grams).

Halstead observed the ball's unique volley action while in play and proposed to re-name the game after its visual characteristic. The congregation agreed to the name, Volley Ball.

... VOLLEYBALL
While lazing around the house last Thursday in a turkey induced food coma, I was letting my mind wander and reflect back to the past times in my life that I normally try to keep myself from thinking of. During all the recollecting of my past memories I came to the dramatic realization: Volleyball saved my life.
It wasn’t until 6th grade that I discovered volleyball. My team bonded quickly, easily becoming close friends over the next couple of years as we learned the basics of the sport and perfected our skill in eager preparation for our first year of high school.
Freshman year finally arrived, meaning we could finally compete for actual trophies and glory. We got to meet our new coach that would move up with us each fall season: Pule Misa, big, happy, gorilla-like, always singing Samoan, who became a second father for all of my teammates and me. Despite the fact that he didn’t speak one lick of English, he was able to teach us everything necessary for snagging our 1st place in region that year. (Varsity took 2nd at state that year.) Then, 10th grade came and we annihilated all sophomore teams in our region with ease. (Varsity took 3rd.) Next was our JV year, and we finally got to taste what going to the state championships was like. Rousing. It made the anticipation for our predictably undefeated season senior year even greater than before. Once again my team claimed the 1st place trophy. (Varsity...

...History of Volleyball
Today the sport of Volleyball is 119 years old; there are more than 46 million people in North America who play volleyball. There are 800 million players worldwide who play volleyball at least once a week.
Volleyball was created in 1895 by William G. Morgan an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass. William Morgan wanted to create a game which would have less physical contact then basketball for his class of businessmen at the time. William G. Morgan He then decided to use a combination of elements from popular existing sports and created a game that he called Mintonette.
William G. Morgan borrowed some of Mintonette’s characteristics from tennis and handball. Another sport it gained some of its characteristics from is basketball, which was created just 16 kilometers away in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts, just four years prior. On July 7, 1900 during a demonstration of the game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps "volleyball" would be a more vivid name for the sport. The first game of “volleyball” was played at the Springfield College. In 1900, a special ball was also designed for the sport. The volleyball net was borrowed from the sport tennis, and Morgan wanted to raise it just over the average man’s head,...

There are many sports that people like to indulge in either for fun or as a profession. It is widely known that practicing a sport is a great benefit to the person physically and psychologically. Nowadays, people need at least some form of exercise in order to keep in shape, to pass time or even “to feel alive”. The last reason is why, for the most part, it is more attractive why engaging in a sport affects a person’s attitude, both mentally and emotionally. However, the type of sport sometimes does not matter as much as whether it is played individually or with a team. There are various individual sports but the most effective activities are those that involve other players. They are effective because each player has to depend on each of the other members in order to be successful. In spite of this, putting together a victorious and coherent team is not easy. As Shondell and Reynaud (2002) put it, “Developing a successful team is like constructing a building. It is a project with many different components, and it all begins with drawing the blue-prints” (p. 44). For that reason, team building is a very essential aspect in most ball-based sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, etc, as they require the immense efforts of a team.
One sport, in specific, which is somehow rare yet very exciting, is volleyball. According to the common dictionary, volleyball is defined as, “A...

Game characteristic of volleyballVolleyball:
Is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. The complete rules are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to 3 times but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. Typically, the first two touches are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from being grounded in their court.

...RULES OF SITTING DOWN VOLLEY BALL!
Teams aim to hit a ball over a net and land it within the opposition's court. Teams have three passes, to form an attacking play, before the ball has to go over the net.
Sitting Volleyball requires players to maintain contact between their pelvis and the floor at all times.
The sport features a smaller court (10 metres by six metres) and a lower net compared to its Olympic counterpart. The net height 1.05m (women). As a result, Sitting Volleyball is faster than the Olympic indoor game. Another change from Olympic rules is that blocking of the serve is allowed.
Each team is allowed to feature six players on court, including a libero (defensive specialist), who will wear a different coloured shirt to the rest of the team, although five reserves are allowed. There are competitions for both men’s and women’s teams.
The first team to 25 points wins a set, but they must win by two clear points. The first team to win three sets is the winner. A maximum of five sets are played. If a match goes to a deciding fifth set, the first team to 15 points and with a two-point advantage wins.
